On the night of 10 June, the Ukrainian Defence Forces successfully attacked one Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system near Dzhankoy, as well as two enemy S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems near Chornomorsk and Yevpatoriya.

According to Ukrnform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

"None of our missiles were intercepted by the enemy's 'highly effective' air defence," the General Staff said.

In these areas, after the Ukrainian missile strikes, the S-300/S-400 radars immediately stopped working.

In addition, further detonation of ammunition was observed in all three areas of the starting positions of the Russian anti-aircraft missile divisions.
